Letter signed Thomas K. Skinker, approaching Atlanta, Georgia, to wife. After a nine hour stay with the Birchetts I left Vicksburg last night at 10 o’clock. I planned to stop at Atlanta and make the acquaintance of my kinsman, Rev. Wm. M. Walton, but he is not at home. I am mingling business with pleasure in such a way that I can charge nearly all to my three clients., 1901 Jan 7

Letter signed Bertha R. Skinker, The Berlin, to husband, Richmond, Virginia. The blow which deprived us of a loved home makes me feel older. The hotel life seems to be very expensive.

Had to deny myself the pleasure of meeting Mr. Latimer, another American relation., 1901 June 18

Letter signed T.K. Skinker, St. Louis, to wife. Address your letters to me at #94 Laclede Building rather than at 4380. They will get there many hours earlier. The train was speeding away to Mexico. I pulled out my bundle of papers and the brief was not there! The judge laid the case over one week. All received my oversight in the kindest spirit, and nobody even said d–n it. This is my biggest forget for a long time., 1901 June 23
